Great car

This is my third Vette. I had two prior C5's which were great, but just wasn't personally fond of the C6 styling (though it's a great car). The C7 is the only Vette that my wife finds really comfortable to ride in. The seats are supportive, entry and exit is far better and the car feels very confident. The optional exhaust allows for the exhaust to be tamed down when that is appropriate and opened up when you are driving aggressively. Handling, traction and acceleration are inspiring. The 8 speed automatic is state of the art with almost no shift lag. The looks of any car is very personal. That said, I like this car. The fit and finish is excellent and the styling is fresh. Highly recommended.

Most Bang For The Money Period

First I have owned a few Vette’s, a Porsche and various other automobile’s. I’ve been in the auto business with over 10 years experience and driven everything you can imagine. The C7 Z06 for the money cannot be beat. The car is amazing inside and out with timeless style/lines. It’s got power to throw the car around yet has the ability to be tame. It handles well, looks amazing and just screams American Muscle.

Overall, The very best bang for the buck anywhere.

1. there is a $1,300 gas guzzler tax for the 8 sp automatic. 2.Fuel mileage for the 8sp auto is down right awful. The manual has no tax and mileage is way up compared to the automatic. 3. If you did not purchase the aero package then you are going to have road rash on the leading front edges of the rear fenders very expensive to repair. 2. Watch tire wear closely, tires have only 7/32 tread brand new and any alignment issues will present themselves within the first 2 or 3 thousand miles. In ref to my first review, at this point in time the least expensive way to go is with after market skirts. Bear in mind, this fix only applies to 2015 and 2016 Zo6's. The GOOD NEW's is the 2017 Zo6's and GrandSports all come with the side skirts. Still the best bang for the buck. Fuel mileage has picked up a tick to 22mpg. Better but with the cylinder deactivation feature I still think it should be more. Even with the sideskirts GM still has not addressed proper paint protection for the rear fenders of the GrandSport or Zo6

Big Nasty Z06 8 speed Auto

2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 2dr Convertible w/2LZ (6.2L 8cyl S/C 7M)
5 of 6 people found this review helpful

Pure excitement every time I take it out for a spin, very smooth and comfortable ride, car draws attention, lets base fuel economy on driving habits, if you romp on it you are gonna get poor fuel economy, car sits low to the ground, I have no problem getting in and out, great visibility from front and sides, rear not the best due to the Z07 rear Spoiler, rear view mirror is great until it gets dark out, it auto tints, and there is no way to turn it off, audio system is top of the line, LOVE it, 2 USB ports 1 Audio Jack, Zone heating and cooling, remote starter, remote Convertible top, 2LZ, 2 sets of golf clubs, or a 500.00 shopping spree of shoes and clothing will fit in the trunk with ease, great car you cant go wrong, good luck.

2016 ZO6 Corvette

2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 2dr Coupe w/1LZ (6.2L 8cyl S/C 7M)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful

First off, Ive owned a few corvettes in my day. First an 89' coupe AUTO,, dull interior, no HP but Great MPG won lots of shows, then I saw the C5. One of the BEST cars I ever owned! Great MPG, AWESOME looks, very comfortable, handling was GREAT,but AGAIN, even though is was pretty quick and sounded great, it was an AUTO. The car never needed any repairs but with 100,000 mile mark with NO ISSUES, I broke down and bought a used 2015 C7 LOADED with ALL the options including a 7 spd Manual (460HP, that got 30.5 MPG!) Fast, EXTREMELY comfortable, but it was BLACK! (too much work to keep it clean) AGAIN, NO Mechanical Issues!,Then I traded it in for a STUNNING Laguna Blue Tint coat C7 ZO6, 650 HP, 650 TQ 7spd manual, and WOW, was I impressed SCARY FAST! The ONLY thing I didnt like about BOTH the C7 and the C7 ZO6, was they did NOT have ceramic brakes! ( the continuous brake dust made me NUTS! So I had the Dealer install a set of ceramic pads which I bought on line from "West Coast Corvettes" for $400.00 . Not only did the car stop on a dime, but the annoying brake dust was NO MORE! My opinion of the C7 is BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK! Stylish, GREAT interior, MPG, and be prepared for LOST of honks and THUMBS UPS! GO GET YOU ONE, you WONT be dissapointed!

My advice is to compare the Grand Sport against the Z06 prior to purchasing. They both have power but the Z06 is insane.

First and foremost I am a ASE master tech . I own 2 transmission shops here in Colorado . I owned a brand new 2008 GT500 ( 531 rwhp ) sold that and I bought a brand new 2011 GS corvette ( I highly modified it , 525rwhp ) then sold that and bought a brand new 2014 Camaro ZL1 and modified it to 698 rwhp 690 Rwtq. Got the itch again and in the beginning of 16 sold it and bought a 2013 GT 500 with a 5.8 with 2300 miles on it then modified it to 701 rwhp a true beast! Then did what most Mustang owner do ..... crashes it :( so went looking for a indepentant rear hot rod again . I came across this car in the summer of 16 . My first Vette I could control it so well that I could power slid through parking lots with the tires blazing .... the camaro was heavier so not as fun but could pull 3 gear tire blazing burnouts slightly pitched sideways but in complete control . Lots of fun ! Both mustangs SUCKED !!! Very uncontrollable and scary . But the 13 GT 500 was cool to just cruse around in . Now that you understand my background this 2016 Z06’s is amazing . I’ve done nothing to it because it’s legitimately as fast as all my other cars . Seriously ! The other GM cars had cams and headers , pullies etc but this bitch is ridiculous ! It’s a very Light Car and acceleration at an insane rate of speed ! Holds the road like a race car ! Do a 6/3 downshift at night at around 60 degrees it will light up the traction control light while pinning you , let me say that again PINNING you into the seat ! I have Ceramic Brakes so every time I hit them I feel like I’m gonna go through the windshield . But I’ve had to stop abruptly more than once and WOW it the perfect word! This car makes and average driver into a racer car caliber driver ! That’s how good it is . It does get hot when driven aggressively on mountain roads in the summer but I’m going to do the appropriate upgrades to address that maybe . I have a ZL1 that I’m putting a LSX 454 in so I think I just want to keep in stock for the car shows in 20 years . I highly recommend this vehicle !

Very powerful and well handling car. Take the Corvette Owners School (COS) located at the Spring Mountain Motor Resort to fully understand and use all the capabilities of the ZO6! Outstanding Ron Fellow's School!
